Often in my conversations about Dovahzul things have come up wondering about dragon culture and why they do the things they do. I understand that in actuality it's all speculation but just the same flushing out what sort of culture the Dragons have further advances the soul of the language in my opinion. 

In my mind dragons tend to be very blunt and to-the-point, so it makes sense that a lot of words are ommitted from the sentence structure (a, an, the, etc.)  It sounds rather caveman-ish when translated literally, but it reflects their thinking.

I also think a lot of that comes too from the fact that older languages were more basic like this. But I do agree dragons don't beat around the bush, they get to the point and say what they mean. Odahving had no problem with telling dovahkiin how he felt about alduin and what he would do should he be slain. Paarthurnax's dialog wasn't vague nor overly metaphorical. It was straight forward. However as we discussed sometimes the true meaning of their name can be uncertain, don't know if that was just me though.

Even with the Shouts, the individual words might seem vague on the surface.  "Force, balance, push!" "Fire, inferno, sun!" "Fade, spirit, bind!" etc.  Moreso, I think these are the meanings of the Shouts distilled into the most basic words.  Same with the dragon names, I imagine, since those are technically Shouts too.

Here's a question not really about culture but about dragons. 

I'm getting from the Lore that dragons are immortal, therefore they either are or aren't. They do not breed, therefore they are likely either sexless or all male (biased from their depiction in-game). Maybe they are all made in the image of Akatosh, and therefore male. 

If they are immortal and "sons" of Akatosh (likely not biological but rather spiritual offspring, breathed into being or whatever), is it possible then that some dragons exist in Aetherius as well as Mundus? If they are in Aetherius, where would they be? In what realm?

We do see Durnehviir in the Soul Cairn, so I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility for dragons to dwell outside of Mundus.  That said I think it's implied they mostly dwelled in Mundus.

But the dead dragons' souls would be.... somewhere. You know, before Dragonborns eat them or Alduin uses them to resurrect them.

And it stands to reason I guess that Akatosh could just make more...

He could just make more, but then why would alduin ressurect them? I'm not sure where their souls go but it makes sense. They seem unable to return on their own otherwise they'd just never chose to die, so without Alduin to ressurect them they are in essence mortal. It's seems its more like, immortality until killed sort of deal where they can live forever unless something takes them out. Alduin is depicted as part of Akatosh's duality and it's not far fetched to say he has creative powers as well as destructive abilities. So it's probably a very specific power to Alduin. Since dragons are connected by time dying could be much like Alduin being banished from the flow of time. Perhaps when their bodies are killed and there is no vessel to hold them they are somewhat banished from mundus? It's just an idea.

I think it's something of a shame that the dragons are all male. I would have liked to see she-dragons and maybe even baby dragons too. Is there a reason for them all being male? Or is it possible that there are some females but we just haven't seen them?

The Elder Scrolls dragons are technically genderless, they just happen to have "masculine" voices.  "There Be Dragons" provides a really good overview of their nature.

Oh, and as for the egg thing. Dragons in TES don't lay eggs. All of them were born some time long ago. I forgot the exact lore as to how, but dragons are basically gods among earth. Except they aren't really gods, and are creatures bent on enslaving mortal life. Though of course, they aren't completely evil. They're just born with that idea in their heads, kind of like the daedra.

I think if a dragon is slain it's soul goes somewhere in Aetherius and/or Akatosh's plain. Also I think they weren't made to reproduce because nothing out there could possibly kill them when they were all thrown into existence.
